The High Renaissance period is traditionally taken to begin in the 1490s, with Leonardo's fresco of the Last Supper in Milan and the death of Lorenzo de' Medici in Florence, and to have ended in 1527 with the sacking of Rome by the troops of Charles V. This short period of exceptional artistic production was confined to Italian states, principally in Rome and Venice. Prior Renaissance paintings and other European works outside of Italy are included under the Name the Painter - Early Renaissance and Name the Painter - Northern Renaissance subjects, respectively. European art immediately following the High Renaissance period is covered under the Name the Painter - Mannerism subject.
